MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing
An anonymous reader writes "A group of open source developers have been working behind the scenes to create a new service known as Schedules Direct to provide affordable scheduling data for North American users of MythTV. Today, they've announced an initial pricing plan of $15 for a 3 month block, non-recurring. Details are still fairly light at the moment, but there's a mailing list and a FAQ available on the site — one notable tidbit is that the developers 'expect pricing to drop by the end of the initial term. Our goal is $20/year.' This comes weeks before the planned shutdown of Zap2it Labs' Data Direct service mentioned previously."
I get something 8-10 Mb/s for 31K won -- maybe $35, but that's the lowest speed available. Megapass Lite. I guess I could get something for $40, but why would I? Almost everything I download is limited by someone else's bandwidth. The max I've ever seen on a download is 1.2MB/s.

Doubt it. I pay aproximately $40 for 10mbit symetrical (i.e. 10mbit in both direction) if I paid $50, I'd get 25mbit/symetrical.
Norway. Costs of living aproximately 20-30% *higher* than in the US.
1.2MB/s = 9.6 Mb/s, so that download is in fact limited by your 8-10 Mb/s connection.
Not that it means you should necessarily pay any more for more bandwitdth - unless you have some urgent NEED to get data faster than 1.2MB/s...
